LEGO Monkie Kid: Ein Held ist geboren

This show is amazing if you someone un interested in the animation, the voice acting is jaw dropping especially for the character Macaque (Rip Billy Kametz) There are ten 11 minute episodes to season 1 and the two "movies" are both just 40 minute special episodes. The first one is technically a pilot of sorts which takes place before the first season, it's called Monkie Kid: A Hero is Born. The second 40 minute special is kind of a kick off to season 2, Monkie Kid: Revenge of the Spider Queen.

These are lovable characters with so much heart, you get very attached to them and surprisingly the villians as well. I recommend this show for all ages!

Fantastic! I would recommend this to all my friends. Can't wait to get the sets!

This special is an epic start to one of the BEST animated shows I've ever seen! The art, acting, story, and character dynamics are the best I have ever seen, and this studio did such a fantastic job with it!

This special is only JUST the start, and it gets better and better with every season! If you want to add something to your watch list, this is it! It is one of the best things I have ever seen, and is such an inspiration for me since I want to go into screenwriting (and production)!

The people behind it are so so so talented in the work they make, and this series is no exception!

I really recommend everyone watch this amazing beginning to an epic tale! (based on an epic tale)!

Well, I am familiar with the classic tale of the Monkey King according to Chinese folktales, so of course I sat down with my son to watch this 2020 LEGO take on the legend. And with it being a LEGO movie, I must admit that I didn't even doubt that we would be in for a dud.

And "Monkie Kid: A Hero Is Born" is entertaining, it sure is. And it was really refreshing to see a LEGO animated movie in an actual drawn style presentation, and not just being another CGI animated movie. So that was rather uplifting to see.

The storyline told here is easy to follow and it offers contents that is entertaining for children and adults alike. Of course, with it being LEGO, this is mostly aimed at a younger audience. But I was every bit as entertained as my son was.

The animation and art style used in "Monkie Kid: A Hero Is Born" is good. Lots of great things taking place on the screen. And the art style was great. It had that classic LEGO thing going on, while also keeping the art style that is seen in the LEGO magazines from the LEGO fan club that my son receives. So that was definitely good.

I will say, though, that this animated movie is fast paced. Very fast paced. There is not a single slow moment throughout the course of the movie, so it is a tongue-in-cheek experience here as you sit back and go on a hyperspeed roller coaster trip in the LEGO universe.

The voice acting in "Monkie Kid: A Hero Is Born" was good. And with it being an animated movie, of course having a proper voice cast ensemble is crucial. I wasn't familiar with anyone here, aside from Gwendoline Yeo, but I didn't recognize her voice, just her name.

All in all, then "Monkie Kid: A Hero Is Born" is entertaining and enjoyable.

My rating of "Monkie Kid: A Hero Is Born" lands on a six out of ten stars.

First up, this is the best pilot I've seen. The animation throws crazy angles, creative expressions, and flawless action at you every 10 seconds. I legitimately don't think I've seen animation this good outside of movies.

And the plot, great introductions to all the characters (unlike say, the Ninjago pilot where its just Kai and Wu), highly unique premise despite the Journey to the west inspiration, and a great establishment of lore.

I simply don't see how anyone with good faith can give this a lower than 8 out of 10, maybe 7 out of 10 if they REALLY REALLY don't vibe with these types of shows.
